check
the
tyre
inflation
pressure
in all
four
tyres,
for
example
using
the
tyre
presjsure
indicator
of
a
flat

kit.
If
all
four
tyres
are

at
all
willchange
the
vehicle's
handling
characteristics,for
example
there
may
be
reduced

when
braking,
longer
braking
distances
and
different
self-steering
characteristics.
There
is
a
risk
of

in
heavy
trailers
starting
to
slalom.
There
is
a
risk
of
accidents
or
material
damage.
When
driving with
a
trailer
and
a
flat
tyre,
do
not
exceed
the
speed
of
60
km/h,
35
mph.
If
the
trailer
starts
to
snake,
brake
immediately
and
make
the
necesj
sary
steering
corrections
as
carefully
as
possij
ble.
Maximum
speed
If
a
tyre
is
damaged
you
can
continue
your
jourj
ney,
but
do

following
if
you
continue
a
journey
with
a
flat
tyre:1.Avoid
heavy
braking
and
sudden
steering
manoeuvres.2.Do
not
exceed
a
speed
of
80
km/h,
50
mph.3.As
soon
as
there
is
an
opportunity,
check
the tyre
inflation
pressure
in
all
four
tyres.
If
all
four
tyres
are
inflated
to
the
correct
tyre inflation
pressures,
the
runflat
indicator
might
not
have
been
initialised.
In
this
case
initialise
the

Possible
driving
distance
with
a
deflated tyre
The
possible
driving
distance
varies
depending
on
the
load
and
stresses
the
vehicle
is
subjected to,
for
example
speed,
the
nature
of
the
road
surj
face,
outside
temperature.
The
driving
distance may
be
shorter
but
can
also
be
increased
by
adopting
a
more
careful
driving
style.
If
the
vehicle
is
moderately
loaded
and
subjected
to
low
stress,
it
is
possible
to
travel
up
to
80
km,
50
miles.
